If I dont use it for a long time, will the battery exhaust by itself? How long will it last if I dont use it much?

I have had mine for 2 years and hook it to the zipper pull on my purse. Still works like the day I got it. It's been amazing.

I wouldn't imagine so. It's an led light which doesn't draw much power anyway.From memory I thought they have lumina and burn time on the near grylls website. In any case you can replace the battery for only a few dollars. I've had mine for a while using it infrequently so can't say for certain how long it will last a I haven'tgot to that point yet. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have not used it that long, but so far, the battery is holding up. Have not tested it on an all day run!Sorry I can't be of more help!

I have no idea for sure. I've had mine for six months, and its as strong as ever. I'm sure its proportional to how often you "trip" it and cause it to alarm. Just sitting there it should not draw any appreciable current from the batteries.

We don't use it continuously , so actually don't know how long it lasts at one time. It doesn't loose power as it is used and has a shut off warning before it actually stops. This is to protect the battery, and it's a great feature for the user as well. One of the best investments in our tool chest! GET ONE . . . You won't regret it.

A good brand regular battery seems to last several hours. Am pretty sure you can add music to it fromiTunes. I'm very pleased with mine and have gotten hours of pleasure from it and found it simple touse even though I am up there in age (almost 70).

Well like every battery it depends on how u use it,since I got it which I think was January I've used it every now an then without having to charge ,I would recommend leaving it switched to off when not using it

At least three months of heavy use. No warning of the batteries dying yet either. You don't have to turn it off and on. It will turn itself off after roughly 10-15 minutes of being still and takes about a second to turn back on by moving it around. It's quite good, and probably even better with rechargeable batteries.

I've only had this battery in operation for 1 season. It's out of the car for the winter. Life has a lot to do with usage. I feel that the life will last for several seasons but obviously it will take several years to confirm.

I honestly suggest that you should not leave it there overnight so it will not over charge the battery itself. thanks

I would say if you don't overheat it...it will last for many years. I love mine.

I don't know how long the battery last. I would assume it depends on how much you use it. How many times do you un hitch the trailer and hook it back up. It is rare for me to keep un hitching my trailer. I do it maybe twice in a use. I love the Iball. It would take me half a dozen times of backing up the trailer without it.

Yes, Thats how I always used it. This battery will die after a couple of years. Might that be your problem?

One of the good practice in maintenance of electronic gadget is to remove the battery before long term storage. For this release unless you use it regularly once it is in the dry box you do not know when it will be used again. by removing the battery I can ensure that I will not have battery leak issue. On top of it, the battery in it will last a long long time, so this is not a concern at all

The battery on this computer really stinks. I mean REALLY. I've haD to use it plugged in since like 9 months after I bought it! I do not like this computer at all. I hope this helps! Plus it gets really hot.

Hard to say. My first one lasted 5 years. It was plugged into an outlet, and I only changed the battery once during those 5 years. When the device starts "chirping", it is time for a new device. The instruction talks about this sound and what this means. Always remember to test your device periodically to make sure it is fully functional. A few second a couple times a year to test is worth the peace of mind from potential CO poisoning.

It should work for many hours, but if you don't use it for a couple of weeks, the batteries are depleted. It must be drawing juice even when it is in the off postion.

I haven't had any battery problems with it. It doesn't take much energy not like a cell phone would. I unplug mine sometimes because it gets nice and strong. It deodorizes the entire vehicle not just the front seat. I just gave my last one away and need to order a half dozen more for our other vehicles.
